[FFmpeg-devel] [RFC] Vote STF/SPI 2024-02

[Michael Niedermayer]

Hi all

To do the STF/SPI thing properly, and make sure we do what the Community wants.
We should do this vote: (unless lots of people reply and say we should skip the vote)
(i am also CCing jonatan to make sure the option in the vote actually ask the GA the
 right question)

The vote description will be as follows:
The STF/SPI has suggested us to submit an Application / Scope of work before their february meeting.
There are about 2 weeks left.
The minimum grant is 150 000 €
The next STF meeting is expected to be in may. If we submit in february and are not selected
we can probably try again in may. Which would increase our chances
If we do not submit in february we can probably submit in may.
There is no guarantee that money will be available in may, for example between october 2023
and february 2024 no funds where available AFAIK.
Wiki page is here: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/SponsoringPrograms/STF/2024


Option A. The Application and Scope of Work from the WIKI shall be submitted to STF/SPI before the february 2024 meeting, disagreements in it shall be decided by the TC. To achieve continuity, submission shall be done by the same person as previous if possible.

Option B. No Application and Scope of Work shall be submitted in february 2024


This is a RFC, so if you see errors in it please suggest changes

Thx
